The
Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis prepares its students for a wide
range of legal careers. Our success in training our students to uphold the fine
traditions of good lawyering is evidenced by the outstanding professional and
civic achievements of our alumni, who practice in every state as well as
abroad.

One of IndianaUniversity‚??s
two independent law schools, the IU School of Law-Indianapolis traces its
origins to the late nineteenth century when the first of its private
predecessor schools, the IndianaLawSchool
was established in 1894. Fifty years later, the school became an integral part
of IndianaUniversity. With more than 1000 students,
the IU School of Law-Indianapolis is the largest law school in the state of
Indiana, and one of the few Big Ten law schools to offer the cultural,
recreational and professional advantages of an urban educational environment.
Additionally, it is the only law school in Indiana to offer a part-time evening program.

Located on
the campus of IndianaUniversityPurdueUniversity - Indianapolis and the IU Medical Center, the
school is just minutes away from the state‚??s courts, legislature, and major law
firms, giving students opportunities not only to observe the legal process in
action, but also to participate in that process as law clerks, judicial interns
and legislative staff assistants.

The school
is housed in Lawrence W. Inlow Hall, a state-of-the-art facility that is one of
the most technologically-advanced schools in the country.

In
addition to the JD degree, students may pursue joint degrees through programs
offered in cooperation with IndianaUniversity‚??s Kelley School of Business, School of Library
and Information Science, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, School of Social Work,
and the School of Medicine and School of Liberal Arts.
The school also offers an LL.M. program with five tracks of study: American Law
for Foreign Lawyers; International and Comparative Law; Health Law, Policy and
Bioethics; Intellectual Property Law; and International Human Rights Law. A
Doctor of Juridical Science degree is also offered.

Students
at the IU School of Law-Indianapolis have a wide range of backgrounds, bringing
diverse professional and personal experience to the classroom. The most recent
entering class included students from nearly 185 colleges and universities
across the country. The median credentials for entering students were a GPA of
3.61 and an LSAT score of 156.

The
school‚??s library contains more than 600,000 volumes or volume equivalents and
is a depository for U.S.
government and United Nations publications. Every student is given instruction
in information retrieval systems, including LEXIS and WESTLAW.

The
school‚??s clinical programs train students in basic lawyering skills. With
faculty supervision, students participate in a Civil Practice Clinic, a Civil
Practice Disability Clinic, a Criminal Defense Clinic, an Immigration Clinic
and an Appellate Practice Clinic.

In 2003,
the school established its Center for International and Comparative Law. This
Center is the nucleus from which all international programs at the school
emanate. Providing direction and guidance for the school‚??s LL.M. Program in
International and Comparative Law, the summer study programs in China, Europe, Central Europe and Latin America, as well as Human Rights Law Internships,
the Center is the point of contact for students and faculty with interests in
international law.

Each year
the school sponsors a month-long Chinese Law Summer Program at RenminUniversity
in Beijing. The
school also offers a European Law Summer Program in Strasbourg, France,
and a Latin American Summer Program. The school also hosts a summer study
program near Dubrovnik, Croatia, as part of its Central and
Eastern European Law Summer Program. Additionally, our Program in International
Human Rights Law is designed to promote legal study and scholarship in
international human rights.

Another
special program of interest is the school‚??s William S. and ChristineS.HallCenter
for Law and Health. Established in 1986, the HallCenter
is a resource for the study of critical issues in health care. The school‚??s
location, on the same campus as the world-renowned IU Medical Center, allows
interaction among noted scholars and practitioners in both disciplines.

In 2008,
the Environmental Law Forum was established and hosts an annual spring symposium
on environmental law issues.

Activities
available to students include the Indiana Law Review, the Indiana
International and Comparative Law Review, the Indiana Health Law Review,
intramural, regional and national moot court and client counseling
competitions. The school offers more than 30 student organizations, including
the International Law Society, the Environmental and Health Law Societies, the
Federalist Society, the Republican Law Coalition, the Democratic Law Society,
the Lambda Law Society, the Women‚??s Caucus, the Dean‚??s Tutorial Society, and
Equal Justice Works, just to name a few. These organizations serve to
complement the rigorous academic instruction at the school. The average grade
for coursework at the school is in the range of 2.9-3.1 on a 4.0 scale. For
